Love is in the Hair

 (No, this is not a promoted post)

This is just my experience of what I did to finally be happy and in love with my hair. And this is coming from someone who has had dry, curly, heavy volume hair and recently even got her hair colored. So I have had to learn a thing or two about taking care of my hair. 


Lesson 1: Get smarter about your shampoo.

I keep trying various shampoos to see which works better for my hair, and I now definitely know the typical store available brands just do not work. You need shampoos according to your scalp and hair type. Also, try not to over-wash your hair. People with dyed hair are advised not (STRICT NO) to wash it every day to prevent premature color fading and dryness. Ideally, you just need to wash your hair twice or thrice to keep your hair clean. Invest in a good natural shampoo to help add strength, volume, and texture to your hair. 

I am just adding some shampoos on the basis of my research and experience according to the issues I have faced:

>> Dandruff -  This shampoo does wonders, you will start seeing the result in 1-2 washes itself.

>> Frizzy hair - I started using this after I got my hair color-treated because I wanted a good sulphate-free shampoo but I really like how it works on my hair. Recommended especially for color-treated hair. 


>> Hairfall  - I use many products of Biotique and I have had no complaints about any of them. This is a nourishing shampoo and works pretty good. 

Lesson 2: What goes well with shampoo? Conditioner.

A lot of people skip this step thinking it's overrated and unnecessary. When shampooing your hair (even with all-natural products), some essential oils are removed leaving the hair in need of moisturizer, this is where the conditioner comes in. I would recommend using the same brand as your shampoo. 

Lesson 3: Oil is the answer

A conditioner can work wonders for your hair but oil gives it certain minerals, vitamins, and essential fatty acids that not only strengthen your roots but also improve your hair's overall health.

Coconut oil comes highly recommended by mothers and hair experts! It will protect your hair from exposure to the harmful UV rays of sun and dandruff.


If you experience hair loss then olive oil or castor oil (mixed with coconut oil) will be a better choice.



And for color-treated hair (I personally use this one right now) -


Lesson 4: Rice water is the secret to longer hair

Regular use of rice water has many advantages for hair – it helps remove dandruff, strengthen the strands, stimulate their growth, give vitality, and improve their appearance significantly.
There are thousands of videos and articles available online proving this. I am attaching a video for reference on how to use it:




Lesson 5: Experiment and Personalize

It can take a few days, if not a few weeks, to work a hair care routine out. But you are well on the way to getting the hair you deserve; once it's sorted. You may need to change the routine at a certain time of year as well. Many will need to opt for products with extra hydrating properties when the winter months hit. But in the warmer summer season, you might want to choose lighter formulas to help hair stay bouncy in the face of moisture.

Adding some other products I use and really like-

Living

I'm not sure what I want to be or do. All I know is that I want to live. To me, living isn't about having a big title or a fancy job. It's about enjoying the simple things. It's about feeling the morning sunshine on my face, laughing so hard it hurts, and crying to release the pain. It's about finding peace in quiet moments and letting my mind wander.  But life isn’t always sunshine and pretty skies. It’s storms that break you down, darkness that swallows you whole, and days when getting out of bed feels like swimming through raging waves. It’s the crushing burden of expectations, the fear of failure, and the lonely feeling of not fitting in. I’m tired of pretending to have it all figured out.  I’m a person, a whole, messy, complex person. I’m the quiet kid who dreams big and the friend who’s there for anyone. I’m the one who’s afraid of heights but jumps off cliffs anyway. I just want to be me, with all my flaws and strengths, my hopes and fears, my joys and sorrow...

3 years later, what life's like?

I'm picking up my pen again, and it feels amazing!  It’s truly easy to get swept away in the bunch of responsibilities, deadlines, and the never-ending grind of our daily routines.  Lately, I’ve felt this chaos more than ever. I’ve been so completely absorbed in the busyness of life that I’ve lost touch with the things that always brought me so much happiness. I've been so consumed by my responsibilities that I've lost touch with the things that bring me joy, and it's only now that I'm starting to feel the emptiness that's been growing inside me. Life can be overwhelming, and it often demands so much from us. Academic responsibilities, work commitments, family obligations, social engagements — they all pull at our time and energy. Yet, in the midst of this hustle, I believe it is necessary to pause and ask ourselves: What brings us joy? What makes our hearts sing? For me, it’s the simple pleasures: curling up with a good book, losing myself in the pages of a sto...

The intimacy of Silence

There is a rare comfort in sitting beside someone and feeling understood without uttering a single word. In a world where we’re pushed to be constantly be expressive, to explain ourselves and to articulate every feeling, there exists an almost magical power in shared silence — a kind of intimacy that words often fail to capture. In these quiet moments, connections deepen, and the space between two hearts grow smaller, free from the weight of expectations and explanations.  There are moments in life when we’re so overwhelmed, so exhausted, that even the simplest words feel heavy.  In those moments, all we want is someone who understands without forcing us to speak. The people who can sit with you in your silence, without needing to know the details, are the ones who know that sometimes, presence alone is the strongest form of support. They offer a quiet assurance that says, “You don’t have to explain yourself; I’m here, and I see you.” When life is heavy, when your heart feels ...
